[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting a Charter school is a mute point. Don't you think there could have already been a lets say replica of Basis or Latin if real estate wasn't an issue.[/quote]

I think If DCPS saw this as a solution to a problem it has, they would work with the city to make it work. [/quote]

You must be new here.

No way does DCPS see a charter as a solution to any problem it has. The two sectors are in an unstated grudge match for 'market share' and one additional reason DCPS opens up OOB seats and is expanding HS options is to claw back students from charters.

DCPS has a higher proportion of high school students already and is expanding and opening more application schools to build on that.[/quote]

Maybe I need to restate it- If the city sees how this solves the DCPS overcrowding issue and appeases DCPCS, they could make it happen. [/quote]

DCPS and the mayor have a strategy to deal with overcrowding -- it is the carrot, not stick approach and involves

a) more application high school seats to draw families willingly out of Wilson
b) moving people, by force, if necessary to schools with capacity and high OOB populations (e.g. Eaton to Hardy)
c) waiting until the boundary review, which will occur during a lame duck period (as it did last time)
